1993 Pontiac Grand Am GT Sports Coupe review from North America
"Great car if you treat it well"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I got the car in 2005, from a previous owner. I test drove it and it ran great. Then I gave it to my son to drive and he tortured it.
A few months ago while I was driving, some smoke came out of the hood. It turned out to be the power steering oil leaking.
I found a hole in the rusty power steering hose, so I replaced it.
Now the oil is leaking every time I drive it. I think it is the actual power steering pump itself.
I would be grateful for any suggestions to my problem.
General comments?
It a very good looking vehicle. I am thinking of lowering the suspension and putting a spoiler to give it a more sporty look.
It's a little dry, potholes feel like earthquakes.
